ABSTRACT
SUMMARY OBJECTIVE:
Intragastric balloon placement is an effective method for weight reduction. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of combining liraglutide with intragastric balloon.METHODS:
Initially, demographic data of patients such as age, gender, comorbid diseases, adverse events, initial weight, height, body mass index, percent body fat, and waist-hip ratio were collected. Weight, body mass index, percent body fat, and waist-hip ratio were measured in the second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth months. Then, intragastric balloon was removed and liraglutide was stopped.RESULTS:
A total of 50 patients were included in the study, of whom 28 (56%) were in Group A (intragastric balloon) and 22 (44%) were in Group B (plus liraglutide). Weight change at the time of balloon removal was higher in Group B [median weight change 13.8 (7.8 min to 16.8 max) versus 7.9 (4.8 min to 11.8 max); p<0.01]. When the weight, percent body fat, body mass index, and waist-hip ratio changes were compared according to gender, no significant difference was observed in the groups. Comorbid diseases were hypertension in 7 patients (4 in Group A and 3 in Group B) and diabetes in 9 patients (5 in Group A and 4 in Group B). No statistical significance was found.CONCLUSION:
Liraglutide has benefits in terms of weight, percent body fat, and body mass index reduction when administered with intragastric balloon.
